The US exit polls help build a picture of how different groups of people have voted across the nation. Exit poll data is updated throughout the night.

The latest numbers suggest that women broke for Kamala Harris but perhaps not by the margins her campaign had hoped, at 54% compared with 44% for Donald Trump.

In 2020, the exit polls suggested 57% of women backed Joe Biden, which is broadly similar once the margin of error is taken into account.

Looking at race, Trump led among white voters - the biggest single group - and Harris led with black voters.

She was also ahead with Hispanic voters, but support for Trump has increased more than 10 points among this group compared with 2020.

In particular, Trump has won a significant increase in support from male Latino voters - up 18 points on 2020.

A majority of younger voters across the US backed Harris, but in the battleground state of Michigan the Democrats lost significant backing from 18-29 year olds, suggest the latest exit poll figures.

In 2020, 61% of voters in this group backed Joe Biden, but only 46% say they voted for Kamala Harris this time.

Nearly six in 10 college-educated voters in the data said they voted Harris, while a similar proportion of people without a college degree voted for Trump.

To win the White House, a candidate needs 270 out of 538 electoral college votes.

Each state is worth a differing number of votes depending on the size of the population. In most cases if a candidate gets the most votes in a state, they win all the electoral college votes for that state.

A few of the most hotly contested battleground states voted for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in 2020, but this year were won by Trump.

With a win in Wisconsin, Donald Trump secured the presidency.

The state's 10 electoral votes pushed Trump's tally above 270.

Kamala Harris did well in urban areas, including the major cities of Madison and Milwaukee, but Trump carried the lead in most other areas.

Trump also won the battleground states of Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia.

Pennsylvania was considered the biggest state to watch out for, with its 19 electoral votes. The state has been projected for Donald Trump.

There are also elections to both Houses of Congress. The Republicans are projected to have gained a majority in Senate after wins including in West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio.
